So many people grab at the Emotional side of their conscious when they 
have to make a split second decision about nature conservation and 
sustainable utilisation. The thought they then grasp leads to selfish 
preservation of the planet.
In most cases these emotional victims far exceed their own welcome on 
the planet and they justify themselves by intruding on other peoples 
rights and good founded conservation principles in an effort to balance 
their own fatal life style.
These people are Hippocrite's and they should not have a vote in the 
matter. Each function/action on earth leaves an carbon footprint. People 
with a deeper/larger carbon footprint should not be allowed to vote on 
the utilization of earth resources of people with a lesser carbon foot 
print.
"Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or 
religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have.[1] 
Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie.[1]
Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one 
preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse 
of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler No. 14:
Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy 
him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; 
since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his 
passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be 
confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having 
courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to 
others, those attempts which he neglects himself.[2]"

This needs exploitation.
Thanx for a great post, which I will be quoting in many locations.
Can you perhaps write more on this?
We have a problem with mass intrusion on our environmental rights in terms of section 24 of the South African Constitution by Hippocrates, who object to driving on beaches, yet approve of mining the surrounding sand dunes by virtue of their silence on the dune mining issue.
